Seven

When did this little guy grow up?



He has grown from being the most discontent baby to an amazing little boy.

Grumpy Will...I swear this is how he spent his baby days!

Content for a minute!

He has always needed something in his mouth!
Weather is be food or a duckie!

He loved his Binky's (minka minka)

Will is quite the swimmer! (I think that he's part fish!)

Missing his two front teeth!

Now look at him, loosing teeth, growing up big and tall.

Will, (because he doesn't like me to call him William!) I can't believe that you are now seven. You are growing up so fast. You are such a brilliant, smart, easy going young boy. You never cease to amaze me. Not a day goes by that you don't make me laugh or bring a smile to my face. It's so amazing how much you have changed since you were a baby. You can ride a two wheel bike, swim, read, solve simple math problems, play baseball, you love all things mechanical, you love Bionicles, Halo stuff, Lego's (all Lego's!). You are generally such an easy going little person. You can entertain yourself for hours, but spend days playing with your best friend Porter too.

I look forward to watching you grow up and see the man that you become!
I love you William!
Love, Mom

Happy 8th Anniversary my love

8 years ago on March 18, I married my best friend, my soul mate, my lover, the father to my children. I am so happy and proud to call him my husband! He makes me so happy in so many ways. I really feel that he is my soul mate and we were meant to be together. Is it weird to say that I feel like we have been married for an eternity. I mean 8 years, is not a long time by any means, but I do feel that we have been together forever. I can't imagine life without him and it's hard to think of what life was like before him.

Here are a few things that I love about Josh:
* When he's really happy, he hums a little tune
* He helps make dinner and cleans up most nights
* He makes the family a nice hot breakfast on the weekends
* I love to cook with Josh, I love spending time with him in the kitchen
* He is a wonderful father to our 5 kids
* Sometimes he is softer than me (when the kids ask for a sleepover, go to a dance, stay out late etc)
* He hates homework time, but still helps when needed
* I love movie nights so that I can snuggle up next to him
* He's not afraid to clean the bathroom if I ask him to
* He's very handy with fixing things (even though he doesn't always wish he was!)
* Most of all I love that he loves me unconditionally!

Happy 8th Anniversary Josh!

I love you more than you know, here's looking to many more wonderful years with you!

Happy Late St. Patty's Day

Just wanted to say Happy Late St. Patty's Day. I don't have any fun pictures to post....but I have always loved St. Patrick's Day. (Not to mention that it's also the day before my anniversary!) I love the color green, so any excuse to wear it is great! My kids were bummed when they came home from school that afternoon because lots of their classmates had a nice "green" breakfast. Little did they know that I had a nice little "green" dinner planned for them. We had French Dip sandwiches on green rolls (thanks Dick's for supplying the green bread!), seasoned fries, green sprite, and afterwards the kids all got to decorate their own shamrock cookie complete with green frosting and sprinkles! I took a leftover sandwich to work with me and got quiet the looks and comments from the kids as I ate my green sandwich! To fun!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
